Instructions
How to Make Cannoli Chips with Ricotta Dip
This recipe comes together quickly, and once the chips are baked, everything else is just mixing and serving.
STEP 1 – PREP THE OVEN
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
💡 Tip: Parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
STEP 2 – MAKE THE DOUGH
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms, adding a little water if needed to bring it together.
💡 Tip: The dough should be soft but not sticky — add water slowly.
STEP 3 – ROLL AND CUT
Roll the dough out thinly on a lightly floured surface, then cut into small rectangles or triangles.
💡 Tip: The thinner the dough, the crispier your cannoli chips will be.
STEP 4 – BAKE THE CHIPS
Place the cut pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
💡 Tip: Keep an eye on them near the end — they can brown quickly.
STEP 5 – COOL AND SWEETEN
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool completely, then dust lightly with powdered sweetener.
💡 Tip: Chips crisp up more as they cool, so don’t skip this step.
STEP 6 – MAKE THE RICOTTA DIP
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt (if using), honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in chocolate chips and top with chopped pistachios if desired.
💡 Tip: For a thicker dip, strain the ricotta before mixing.
STEP 7 – SERVE AND ENJOY
Serve the crispy cannoli chips alongside the creamy ricotta dip and enjoy immediately.
💡 Tip: For best flavor, chill the dip for 20–30 minutes before serving.
